How to make the perfect bubble wall for aquarium, yourself?

Question

I cut out a 3 foot long tube and punctured holes with a hot pin with 1 inch distance on the top side. I sealed one end and hooked in my air pump at the other and anchored the whole thing in my tank from one end to the other with vacume holders.

I find that bubbles don't come out from all the holes properly. If anyone has some good tips making a perfect buble wall airation tube, please post.

The reason I'm doing this is because, I can't get the proper size readymade piece for this in my area.

Answer 1

One tip I can offer, the holes nearest the air pump should be a bit smaller than the holes further from the pump. Also, the holes must be of a certain size before it will allow a bubble to escape. That size depends on pressure and the further from your pump the less pressure.

Also, you will see that once you get a few holes producing bubbles, some others will stop. It can take days to try to balance everything so it works properly.

I would suggest you thing hard about ordering the proper sized piece from a good pet supply stoire online, it might get to you before you can balance your line to working properly.

You need a filter for all fish. Goldfish are messy fish and need double filtration (a 100 gallon filter for 50 gallon tank) . You can use a bubble wall as well in additional to the filter but you need a filter.
